im scared guys
I rode around for a year with my mirrors on backwards wondering why i had crappy view. then I get these stickers and put them on backwards. Im scared fellas, I am only 52 but I am seeing my cognitive decline get worse every freaking day :( Im scared I know this is not the place for this, but I cannot help it. This just happened and I am worried. Oh well, i reckon it could be worse.
i guess alcohol will take them off and i will order more

You don't hear me laughing, do you?
I was merely pointing out that you don't have to remove the one on the left side of the tank, nothing more. If you feel that my constructive comment was a joke, I'll refrain from commenting in any of your threads in the future. |

True...Fork guards shield the exposed fork tubes from damage on USD forks. It's a quick way to know if a bike has USD forks

I have seen bright color fork covers in AliExpress,that I think are for convention forks, but not real sure. I have thought about painting my lower forks, and passenger grab handles black on my bike.

i mean...those are clearly forks like the Hawks in the picture, but I think now that lingering question I had about why they don't have any picture of them installed may have been answered.

well good old Amazon. I don't know if it cancelled or not (i suspect it did). The item no longer shows up in my list of orders, nor does it show up in the list of cancelled orders. Weird. Eh well, in 3 days I will know for sure when they either credit my card or these things show up.

Fork guards for standard forks? No. They do not exist.

Sure they do! Just a bit different design. Basically mounts to the top of the bottom tube and deflects gunk off the front surface of the upper tube. I've run these in the past coupled with standard fork gaiters for a little extra protection: https://www.thevintagespoke.com/shop...-x10582898.htm

The best modification you can do to your bike right now is a full tank of gas...
and maybe a can up lanolin rust inhibiting spray..or other rust preventative coating of choice.... |
